Manual 0-5492 5-5 MIG (GMAW) WELDING
5.04 Installing Handispool (200mm diameter)
As delivered from the factory, the unit is set for a Handispool (200mm diameter).
In order to re-fit a 200mm spool assemble parts in the sequence shown below in Figure 5-5.
Adjustment of the nut will control the Mig Wire Spool Brake. Clockwise rotation of this nut tightens the brake.
The Brake is correctly adjusted when the spool stops within 10 to 20mm (measured at the outer edge of the
spool) after Mig Torch trigger is released. Wire should be slack without becoming dislodged from the spool.
CAUTION
Overtension of brake will cause rapid wear of mechanical WIREFEED parts, overheating of electrical componentry and
possibly an increased incidence of wire Burnback into contact tip.
Ensure that the alignment pin on the wire spool hub aligns with the hole allocated in the Handispool.
NOTE
This spool hub nut can be removed by unscrewing in an anticlockwise direction and locating in the appropriate position.
